Wind energy projects have been pop­ping up all around northern Arizona, and stu­dents have had the opportunity to participate in programs that stimulate their understanding of sustainable energy.
Bill Auberle, professor of civil and environmental engi­neering, is part of the Sustain­able Energy Solutions (SES) group on campus. Members focus on areas such as renew­able energy research, educa­tion and project implementa­tion.
Students have had the opportunity to set up me­teorological towers at several wind assessment sites located around northern Arizona.
In 2005, SES began a project at the Aubrey Cliffs located several miles north­east of Flagstaff, and a project in the Gray Mountains, lo­cated approximately 60 miles north of Flagstaff. Students retrieve data from anemome­ters, wind speed and direction
President John Haeger told stu­dents about the realities of the future of the cost of education during a meeting with Associated Students of NAU (ASNAU) Feb. 4 at the University Union. He discussed his proposal for the Arizona Board of Regents (ABOR) regarding tuition and fee increases for fall 2010.
During ASNAU’s weekly stu­dent senate meeting, Haeger spoke to students, faculty and staff about the proposed tuition and fee increases. He will be making his recommenda­tions to ABOR March 10.
“As we look at tuition this year, students are going to be asked to share a great burden,” Haeger said.
The burden, under the proposal, will include an increase in tuition, a health and wellness fee, and a pro­gram fee.
NAU’s pledge program, which began in fall 2008, guarantees under­graduate and non-resident students a fixed four-year tuition rate. The proposal means incoming students under the pledge program would be looking at paying 12 to 18 percent more than this year’s pledge class.
“If you’re locked [into the pledge program], students will pay no more than a 3 percent increase, [and] you pay it at the beginning,” said Kath­leen Templin, ASNAU president.
Haeger said he thinks more stu­dents should take advantage of the pledge program.
“We’re trying to move incoming freshmen onto the pledge program [because their] tuition would remain the same [for the] four years,” Hae­ger said. “[And] we continue to offer high-level programs for students on campus and students joining next fall.”
Templin is part of the last group of students at NAU who are not on the pledge and will graduate in May 2011.
“We invited all undergraduates to participate in the pledge program,” said Dave Bousquet, vice president of Enrollment Management and Stu­dent Affairs.
Students who are already in the pledge program will not see their tuition increase; but under the pro­posal, they will pay a $100 health and
